Holy Month Of Murder

Apparently, many of the Islamokazis think that murdering your fellow Muslims during Ramadan gets you even more virgins. Or raisins. Or something:

Egyptian police planned increased watchfulness throughout the month, while insisting no specific threats had been received. But Israel warned its citizens to stay away from Egypt‘s beach resorts in the Sinai peninsula, calling the threat of attacks substantial.

One possible reason is the belief by some Islamic extremists that those who die in combat for a holy cause during Ramadan are especially blessed.

...Slight misunderstanding - It's one 72 year old virgin.

...Osama in heaven - George Washinton punches him in the nose, Thomas Jefferson hits him with a stick - ????? I said Viginians, not virgins.

As are that small subset of individuals who make blanket judgments about all people based on the acts of a few.
